2011 Arimaa Computer World Championship final game

The final game of the computer world championship will be at 11 am EST Thursday March 10th. The live game can be viewed over the Internet and will feature commentary by top human players and the bot developers.

The tournament is a floating triple elimination:

This should be a pretty high quality game with no obvious blunders. It should be pretty easy for beginners to follow especially with the commentary.

If you are not familiar with the rules, some teaching videos are available here:

According to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EST

European Summer Time, the daylight-saving time used in Europe

Eastern Standard Time, the name of two separate time zones:

North American Eastern Time Zone, UTC-5

Australian Eastern Standard Time, UTC+10

Is it:

a) European Summer Time UTC + 1

b) North American Eastern UTC - 5

or

c) Australian Eastern Standard Time, UTC + 10

I hope b) (16:00 UCT) which is a nice time to watch from Europe.

It was 16:00 UTC!

And remarks are over "Arimaa Radio". Really cool. I haven't paid much attention to Arimaa in the last years. It is a really nice game. Very interesting, thanks.

Sorry I should have said EST-US.

im beginning to play and this is a tough game. im starting a pair of games and i want to see how they going to kick my behind.

i was wandering, the author of arimaa explain why is it called 'arimaa'... i wonder why yinsh, dvonn, zertz and tzaar have those names.

According to wikipedia, "Arimaa" is "Aamir" spelled backwards plus an initial "a". Aamir Syed is Omar's son. I don't know anything about the other names.
